A 25-year-old man with a massive traumatic subcutaneous hematoma in his back was transferred to our emergency department. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm with extravasation within the hematoma. The patient was unable to take a supine position due to the massive back hematoma. We thus performed a transcatheter embolization of bilateral cervical branches with the patient in the prone position, via a radial artery. After two embolizations, successful hemostasis was achieved. The prone transradial catheterization technique is useful for embolization in patients who cannot be in the supine position.

The ecdysone-induced bZIP transcription factor MafB establishes a positive feedback loop to enhance vitellogenesis and reproduction in the mosquito.

Female mosquitoes require a vertebrate blood meal to activate reproduction, transmitting numerous devastating human diseases. Vitellogenesis is a central event of female reproduction that involves the massive production of vitellogenin (Vg) in the fat body and the maturation of ovaries. This process is controlled by the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E); however, its molecular regulatory basis remains not completely understood.

Maternal obesity puts the offspring at high risk of developing obesity and cardio-metabolic diseases in adulthood. Here, we utilized a mouse model of maternal high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity that recapitulates metabolic perturbations seen in humans. We show increased adiposity in the offspring of HFD-fed mothers (Off-HFD) when compared to the offspring regular diet-fed mothers (Off-RD).

Carbon dioxide gas emboli is a potentially fatal complication that occurs more frequently during laparoscopic hepatectomy compared to other laparoscopic surgeries. The patient featured in this report had massive gas embolism confirmed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) that were associated with episodes of severe hypoxemia, hemodynamic instability, and right ventricular failure requiring conversion to open hepatectomy. Abrupt abdominal decompression resulted in massive hemorrhage from a previously undetected defect in the middle hepatic vein.

Background: Gaucheromas, pseudotumors composed of Gaucher cells, are rare complications of Gaucher's Disease (GD). They are usually seen in patients receiving enzyme replacement. Surgery is generally not recommended for these benign masses in treatment management.

Central venous occlusions are common in the population of dialysis patients and develop as a result of arteriovenous access. Whereas these patients most commonly present with edema and varicosities, a rare presentation is esophageal varices. Here we present the case of a young man with life-threatening esophageal hemorrhage as a result of central venous occlusions, successfully treated with an azygos vein to right atrial bypass.
